Hanable's Hunters, Part I & II

[Prof Yeti]

Marek d'Cannith - Dragonmarked Human Paragon/ Wizard

As Whitlok speaks Marek' body language shifts back to his previous intensity. Till finally when Whitlock finishes the playful gleam in his eyes has been replaced by something of far more sinister aspect. "Now I am no warrior, except by necessity, but the words have merit. History has shown a great, or powerful ,leader can raise an army to rattle the heavens. But rarely does the leaders army survive him. And given the general nature of Ogre' I would think this axiom will hold true."

Taking a breath to collect his thoughts Marek continues with a cold light seeming to grow in his eyes. "So my suggestion to any plan would be to scout the area, try to discern if there is a back entrance, deal with the patrol though preferably away from the lair, and hit Voldor with everything we have. But I will of course leave the actual details of the plan to those better versed in warfare. I will do my best to prepare some surprises for the Ogres'."

"Just remember that if we strike at the heart without using attrition first, we are going to run into all of Voldor's traps and minions at once and we might have one huge mess of a fight ahead of us--Plus we need a good escape plan for once we've defeated him, as the band probably won't fall apart that quickly that we can just sit there and watch it happen."

"With those precautions in mind, I will try to help either way--oh and Marek, if you have a chance would you be a dear and bring a few extra Mage Armours for my animal friends? They can really be amazing with a little extra defense, and it works nicely with my Barkskin spell."

Firavel continues to sit quietly in his chair barely moving with his eyes closed, and you realise he really has not moved since he asked his questions earlier. You would think he was asleep except you know elves do not sleep.

OOC: He is currently trying to scry Voldor (DC 16--dragonmark ability) using the image they were shown earlier as a reference. I believe Voldor should get a +3 bonus to his Will save.

Unfortunately, you are unable to come up with anything. If indeed he is a spellcaster, this should not come as a supprise, but perhaps some other time might yield better success.

Firavel shakes his head and opens his eyes before speaking, “Sorry Hanable, but I could not see him, maybe I will have better luck tomorrow.”

"Were you Scrying?" Selene asks with a little smile, "A little bird told me that the best way to scry on a spellcaster is to scry on his brutish barbarian bodyguard."

"I agree and all your points make perfect sense. I did not mean for us to try and completely circumvent Voldor' minions. I was merely speaking in a general sense in regards to the plan of action. Most of my training revolved around magical duels, with only a handful of large battles. And I am very open to relying on those more knowledgeable in that arena."

"I shall see what I can do about the spells of Armor. I have already procured a few, but I will be more than happy to look into gaining more."

 

[Rystil Arden]

"Ah yes, if given two choices, strike at the heart--I most certainly agree. Oh, and we'll need to take out any healers we can identify quickly as well--Any healer felled while he still had healing spells to spare gives us a pretty big advantage over what might have been if we let him cast them."

"Were you Scrying?" Selene asks with a little smile, "A little bird told me that the best way to scry on a spellcaster is to scry on his brutish barbarian bodyguard."

“That works quite well,” he acknowledges, “But it helps if you have some idea of who you are looking for, and I have never seen an ogre before in the flesh...nor specifically one of Voldors followers, so that makes them extremely hard to locate. Then there is the added problem that they may be nowhere near him anyway.”

 

[Rystil Arden]

"Hmm...well, I guess its good for us if he doesn't keep his bodyguards near him, at least...What we could try is to have me see if an animal friend--perhaps a little rat--can't bring a scrap of clothing with a bit of hair on it or something. Doesn't that make the Scrying easier?"

“It certainly does make the scrying easier, but that is a problem for another day.”
